Madoka Magica is one of the best looking, sounding and technical anime to have come out in recent years. Studio Shaft really put a lot of effort and time into Madoka Magica.(except when it was airing Lazy Scumbags.JK) The blue Rei... I mean the Blue Ray release looks really good, the ost for the show is also great. It was Composed by Yuki Kajiura who is one the most gifted composers to have ever graced the anime industry. Madoka Magica was directed by one of my personal favourite anime director's of all time Akiyuki Shinbou his shows have a distinct style and feel that is good and different from any other anime director's style. Now is his directing a little pretentious? YES it is does it matter tho? No, cause his shows are almost always above average. Examples of some of his works:Monogatari series, Madoka Magica, Dance in the Vampire Bund, Nisekoi,etc.And now the writer Gen Urobuchi or his lovely nickname the "Urobuther" I could explain how he got his nickname but you figure that one out on you're own kiddo. Madoka Magica was promoted as a cute slice of life show but when fans found out that the Urobuther was writing the show fans got a little confused cause way would a writer who specialises in tragic shows would be writing such a show of basically cute girls doin cute things. Gen had to do damage control on Twitter. He kept saying it was a lite harted show till right before episode 3 aired he tweeted 'no one in the show has died. Yet.'
After episode 3 finished airing Shaft put out a statement saying that Madoka was a Dark Psychological show. What happend in episode 3 gave me a headache...
This show is very different but when you see who made it you could have guessed that this show was gonna be dark and tragic. The bottom line is that Madoka Magica was a very intense watch the show got a hold of the viewer and did not let go and just took you for a ride and while you were on said ride you got hit by the feels in the FACE! , I got CuteGirlavitus and by the time I realised what happend it's too late for you cause your already on the struggle bus but it's not all bad cause you get complimentary Orange Juice. Madoka Magica has great repeat value. Madoka Magica had one HUGE Problem tho but it's not with the show it is what comes after all 12 episodes are over. Yes, I am talking about Rebellion or you can call it what I like to call it - This is (not) a cash grab. The score for Madoka Magica is 10/10 but Rebellion is a 7/10 only cause it looks Great. I recomend you watch all 12 episodes of Madoka but stop watching after the credits roll Don't watch the end credit sence it's bait for Rebellion. Rebellion is just unnecessary it wasn't needed.
